In our research, service life of wood exposed outdoor in the third use class, determined with double layer test, was investigated. Therefore, Norway spruce wood specimens were impregnated with a copper-ethanolamine (Silvanolin) water based solution and aqueous solutions of individual components. For comparison, untreated Norway spruce, larch, beech and oak wood specimens were exposed as well. The results showed that impregnation with copper based solutions prolong service life of wood considerably. Resistance of wood was influenced by concentration of solutions and addition of cobiocides.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 2022281A proposal for a web-based platform for scientific exchange of test data in the field of wood durability and wood protection has been made. The overall aim of the durability data base is to improve the usability of existing test data and to create an added value for durability research and service life prediction. The database allows for test results from standardized and non-standardized laboratory and field tests. Natural durable timber, preservative and water-repellent treated timber, chemically and thermally modified timber as well as composites have been considered. Finally all types of decay organisms and other degrading agents are regarded.
